President Bush has signed a directive granting extraordinary powers to the office of the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight.
The "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" was signed May 9, notes Jerome R. Corsi in a WND column.
Boy, that is fur sure! I am really getting quite concerned as to just exactly what this guy really has up his sleeve. This new law will allow him to take total control of the U.S. and even suspend the next election if he sees fit. I mean total control. It has always been said that the Bush family wants to be the Royal family of the U.S. I am starting to really believe that!
So, now the Presdient has take the US Constitution and tossed it out. No more separation of power.
So, now any loosely declared national emergency the president now take control of all government and business activities until his declare emerency is over.
So, one man now controls the country, is would have to say it speaks of Dictatorship, not a republic.
So, people are we going to be a country where one can be free, pursue happiness and enjoy life, or are we going to become a country under a DICTATOR?????
I emailed the link for the bill to my state reps and asked them if they know what is going on. It will take a while but the word is that congress doesn't know anything about this. It was done behind closed doors, signed and pushed through in complete private. This is really bad folks. This is bad.
Surely if you have found and read this link then someone of some importance that was against it knew about it at some point. Why has no one come out publicly against it? Or has someone?
His signing the Presidential directive is nothing new. It's been done for years by other Presidents both Democratic and Republican although admittedly, Bush has issued more such directives that other President's. But we have not had incidents such as 9/11 where almost 3,000 people lost their lives since Pearl Harbor - it's a different world now as most would agree. I would want all our efforts, both governmental and private sector directed toward remedying, for example, detonation of a suitcase nuclear weapon. Any President, whether, Democratic or Republican would have my support. I believe we have too many checks and balances in our system for abuse of power by the President.
Yep you guys are really on the wrong side, when he takes over all of those people who spoke bad against him will be sorry. Us supporters will get our place of honor
But the president has always had the rights to declare national emergany and have had powers to do so, Just as governors do for thier states.
